I'm on a quest to get an external video source video running through the factory head unit. So far I've come so close, but haven't quite got there.
My plan was to use an ebay interceptor harness which provides av RCA inputs. This was bought and installed, and while it did play video and sound, I loss all ability to use the external microphone. I contacted the supplied who admitted they hadn't actually tested the harness on a Toyota with an external mic...
I have now turned my attention back to the standard 3.5mm jack. I purchased a 3.5mm to RCA adapted from Jaycar this afternoon, ensuring it was video enabled (4 post jack). After plugging it in, I get video when the 3.5mm jack is 1/4 pressed in, but after pressing in the whole way it blue screens and no audio or video? Likewise, further pressing in half way gains audio, but no video.
I would like to know if these cables come in different orders on the post for audio/video? Perhaps I have a cable where this is out of order required for the Prado?
Any help appreciated!
(FYI - my setup is running from my iphone. Lightning to HDMI converter > digital to analogue conversion box > RCA to 3.5mm jack into the factory socket.)
